Happy Birthday, Emily!!!

My baby turns nine years old today! We went to an Italian restaurant where the waiter sang to her in Italian. Her growing up is bittersweet for me.

I love you, Emily!

Log Cabin Village

Today we went to the Log Cabin Village in Fort Worth. The weather is beautiful and it was a great day to tour the restored cabins. All of the cabins are from the surrounding counties. We got a few demonstrations and I think Emily would have loved to stayed all day.
Candle Making

Weaving Loom

Our favorite part was dressing up

I had to get in on it, too.

Impromptu Vacation

Our first stop was an overnight stay with our friends in Alabama. Tonya is so wonderful to open up her home to us. We had such a good time. Nine kids in a house and they were all so good.

We went to the park.

Lily and Lyra

Ruby's first time on the grass. Too bad it was Alabama grass.
